I've never seen a 3D movie, but I enjoy micro-adventure at Tokyo Disneyland.

Sorry to say this Fizz, but you sound like someone's Grandad. "When I were young we didn't have them new-fangled digital watches and the intertubes".

You're a student FFS!

(PS, Well done Canada for not letting Anne Coulter speak! If she'd made those comments about banning Muslims from flying in the UK, she'd have been done for racial incitement! The woman is a dangerous, certified looney)

Cheers.

No idea Tony. But they don't have an intermission, so presumably they've come up with something more advanced

I saw Avatar in 3D, and it was quite an assault on the senses, but in a good way. I think it would have been a bit lame otherwise. But I can't really see why Up (which had a lovely story, aaah!) would need to be in 3D. Surely that would just detract from the plot?

What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

They do in the Netherlands. When I went to see Harry Potter there with my friend, the film just stopped half-way through and the screen went blank. I thought it had broken down, but it was just the intermission while they changed reels.

I could have used an intermission during Return of the King - I thought my bladder was going to burst.

I've never seen a movie in 3D too,so I don't know.I was at the movies the other day and was in before the ads had even started.The screen went on and it looked like a computer was loading up I have no idea how it works.

Not in all cinemas though

What would good do if evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared?

I don't think the technology for 3D has changed much at all since the 50's. The reason they never used it for feature length filming (if they did they kept it limited to short stretches), is precisely why Fizz doesn't like it - it gives people a massive headache and even nausea after about 20-40mins.

This latest lot is digital mastered so the media's 'cleaner' but when you take your glasses off the picture's still a double image so presumably they still use the slightly different camera angles which the dark glasses 'merge' for you to give you illusion of it being 3D - how the hell they can do it for TV I have no idea unless it's something to do with the screens I suppose?

All I can say having seen Avatar and Alice (yesterday) in 3D is that Avatar at 160 mins + was well worth the headache despite the over-simplified plot (in my head it's got depth though - loads of motifs and symbology in that, which would make a far better book although I don't how competent an author James Cameron is but then the screenplay is hardly complex... ).

Alice was marvellous visually, but I thought it didn't really need the 3D and it didn't seem to be that noticeable because of the rest of the CGI which was spot on in nearly every case. The subject matter's surreal and 'impossible' to start with so it doesn't need to rely on the gimmicky side of things so much although someone we know went with a 4 year old who was totally entranced with the more obvious 3D element and kept screaming for everyone to watch out so she had the entire daytime audience in stitches

I've only seen Avatar in 3D and I quite liked the movie (same old story, yes, but I loved the world and those cool trees. I love trees).
Anyway it would have been the same without this 3D, didn't impress me that much, we paid a more expensive ticket and I had to get used to that sense of vertigo
